In the wake of last month’s E. coli outbreak tied to McDonald’s slivered onions, the fast-food giant said it will invest more than $100 million to boost restaurant sales and speed up the recovery at affected franchisees.<\/p>\n
Of that total, $65 million will be invested into supporting owners who have lost business, targeting those in the hardest-hit states. This investment aims to help franchisees recover from the negative impact of the outbreak on their business.<\/p>\n
Approximately $35 million will be invested in traffic-driving programs, including marketing efforts. McDonald’s will also be driving “local recovery plans for highly impacted markets” with more details to come in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n
This week, the company completed the return of Quarter Pounder burgers, with slivered onions, to all restaurant menus nationwide after temporarily removing the menu item from some locations.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the CDC issued its latest update on the outbreak, which now includes a total of 104 cases, 37 hospitalizations, and one death across 14 states. The Food and Drug Administration also said in a statement that “there does not appear to be a continued food safety concern related to this outbreak at McDonald’s restaurants.”<\/p>\n
McDonald’s is taking proactive steps to support its franchisees and customers affected by the E. coli outbreak. The company’s investment of over $100 million is a significant gesture to help recover from the negative impact of the outbreak and restore customer confidence in its brand.<\/p>\n
